Testing and, for one of the patches, debugging. I think that the repeat, device name truncation avoidance, EVIOCGPHYS and kzalloc patches can go straight in, modulo possible bit-rot; I'm fairly sure that the ir-common usage patch can go in (for one thing, it provides the correct default keymap for the R808 remote control which was supplied with some Nova-Ts). However, the shutdown patch needs some debugging. > What kind of a timeline/process is typical or expected here? It seems to be very variable. :-| -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
